SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 10 main goals is the explanation of meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning. We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING. Today we examine two meaning submethods of Rashi. EXAMPLE: IDIOMS --------------- Rashi frequently explains not, word meaning, but rather phrase meaning. That is each particular word in the phrase may have a known meaning but the collection of words together form a NEW IDIOMATIC MEANING. We call this the NEW MEANING or the IDIOM SUBMETHOD. EXAMPLE: Lv19-10b LQ@ --------------------- Lv19-10 states ---------------------------------------- Dont glean the GLEANINGS OF YOUR HARVEST ---------------------------------------- Rashi comments ------------------------------------ The phrase THE GLEANINGS OF YOUR HARVEST refers to individual shafts of harvest crop that fall during the gleaning process---(The Torah prohibits picking them up since they already fell and the poor need them) ------------------------------------ Similarly Lv19-09 states ------------------------------------------ Don't glean the ISOLATONS OF YOUR VINEYARD ------------------------------------------ Rashi comments ------------------------------------- The ISOLATONS OF YOUR VINEYARD is an idiom referring to individual grapes that fall during harvest--(The Torah prohibits picking them up since they already fell and the poor need them ------------------------------------- Lv19-20b states ------------------------------------- If a man sleeps with a woman whose REDEMPTION IS NOT REDEEMED ------------------------------------- Rashi comments ------------------------------------- The phrase REDEMPTION IS NOT REDEEMED refers to an INCOMPLETE REDEMPTION ------------------------------------- It is a MISTAKE to look at this logically: Rashi is NOT being picky on the verse--- he is not stating---THE REDEMPTION [which had begun] IS NOT REDEEMED [i.e. completed] Rather, Rashi is simply stating that REDEMPTION IS NOT REDEEMED is a Hebrew idiom meaning INCOMPLETE. All idioms should similarly be taken. LIST854y below gives further examples of Biblical idioms. | ||

*1 Some other examples of this idiom occur at Ex32-09 Ex33-04 Ex33-05 Ex34-09 Dt09-06 Dt09-13 Pr29-01 *2 That is: The animal - chews - regurgitates the chewed material - redigests it Hence RAISES ITS WINDPIPE is a good idiom describing it | ||||

*10 Rashi lays down numerical criteria ------------------------------------ - If one or two shafts fall it is GLEANING OF HARVEST - If three shafts fall it is not a GLEANING ------------------------------------ Various ingenious defenses of these numerical criteria have been presented. However, I quite simply follow the Talmudic dictum ------------------------------------------------ Numerical criteria are oral traditions handed down to Moses at Sinai ------------------------------------------------ So the fact that THREE refers to PLURALITY while ONE AND TWO refer to ISOLATED INDIVIDUALS (not a group) is an oral tradition and beyond the ken of Biblical exegesis | ||||
